why doesnt stetson or any hat company just go back to their roots?

I have my Fed4 cutdown to not be a dimensional brim, not sure what you are referring to about the curve of the brim. How less brim-width are you desiring? The flange of the brim can support a thinner brim but I'd not go less that 2 1/2" inches personally. Open crown, classic looing... -
